FTX Reorganization Plan Nears Approval

According to a recent press release, the bankrupt crypto exchange and its affiliated debtors said they have received substantial backing for the amended Plan of Reorganization submitted to the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware. Based on unofficial voting updates, over 95% of the creditors who voted for the Plan have voted in the affirmative.

These votes represent 99% of the claims by value, thus showing the general agreement among all the creditors, including those linked to FTX U.S. and Dotcom.

John J. Ray III, the CEO and Chief Restructuring Officer of FTX, expressed his appreciation for this high voting turnout, arguing that it showcases support for the reorganization plan.

The Plan offers the possibility of repaying 100% of the amounts of the bankruptcy claims and interest to the non-governmental creditors. It also seeks to address various contentious issues with both governmental and private counterparts, which would help avoid lengthy and costly legal battles and expedite the process of paying back creditors.

Asset Recovery and Distribution

The reorganization plan provides for the distribution of almost all the assets related to the bankrupt crypto exchange, regardless of their location at the time of the company’s bankruptcy in November 2022. According to bankrupt crypto exchange, the total value of property that will be collected, converted to cash, and distributed will be between $14.5 billion and $16.3 billion. 

This recovery involves the assets owned by the firm’s Chapter 11 debtors and assets administered by various entities, such as the Joint Official Liquidators of FTX Digital Markets Ltd (Bahamas) and the Securities Commission of The Bahamas. It was mainly driven by the realization of the value of the various assets owned by Alameda Research and FTX Ventures.

In addition, the reorganization plan also provides for payment of interest to the primary classes of customers and creditors at a rate of up to 9% from the commencement of the Chapter 11 cases until the date of distribution. However, the confirmation hearing for the reorganization plan is set to commence on October 7, 2024, when the final vote counts will be announced.

Recovery Steps Taken

In addition to the ongoing restructuring processes, FTX has struggled with numerous legal issues, including lawsuits against its former executives.

Some of these are the imprisonment of the former CEO, Sam Bankman-Fried for 25 years and the order to pay a fine of $11 billion for financial fraud.

Similarly, the embattled crypto exchange and its affiliate, Alameda Research, have also reached a settlement with the CFTC, which will require them to pay back $12.7 billion to the creditors.
